DynaMIT: a simulation-based system for traffic prediction
Year: 1998
Type: article
Abstract: Introduction Advanced Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) and Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) have the potential to contribute to the solution of the traffic congestion problem. However, for these systems to be effective, the generated strategies should be proactive (i.e. based on predicted traffic conditions) as opposed to reactive, in order to avoid many undesirable effects such as overreaction, which reflects the situation where many drivers react to a known current traffic condition in a similar fashion resulting in simply transferring the congestion to another location. DynaMIT (Dynamic Network Assignment for the Management of Information to Travelers) is a real time dynamic traffic assignment system that provides traffic predictions and travel guidance. DynaMIT generates prediction-based guidance with respect to departure time, pre-trip path and mode choice decisions and en-route path choice decisions. It supports both prescriptive and descriptive information.
